Broads01 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Good spot David. With the boat in the link and the location it looks very much Broom Boating Holidays 2 bit welcome nonetheless. There must be a gap in the market for more boats available on the south Broads given the lack of availability compared to the north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScrumpyCheddar Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yep it's a big one.... Brooms big un ..... I'm speaking to them tomorrow so I will find out more.... I'm so tempted... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 But they don't allow dogs! Even I think that it looks great, so long as it doesn't do big speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnks34 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 They are both nice looking boats but I suspect the larger haines shell may suffer with airdraft issues, Ruby Tuesday is shown as 9ft 6in on NYA listing which isnt ideal for hire i wouldnt have thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Nice upper deck seating area. Let's hope for some sun!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Has anybody hired or been on the NYA boats? A friend of mine pointed them out to me as they were looking for a posh hire boat this year. I didn't even know they existed. Would be good if anyone has any first hand feedback? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Some good news for once.. Nice to see new yards starting up! Means the broads is still alive and strong.. Can't wait to see them on the rivers. (That broom really needs some nice teak carpet though!!) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Now that does look interesting. Checked out Arabella for a midweek break and it is affordable at the end of the season. Might have to consider that given that it's down south. Just checked out the booking on Hoseasons and couldn't see any mention of a fuel deposit or anything additional to the quoted price. So they may be doing it as all inclusive like Ferry Marina. In which case the price is comparable to other boats we've hired in October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I've been told the Broom hire fleet is doing very well and they will be adding new boats, they are also building English Harbour's boats under licence. They will be fitting out narrow boats for Tingdene Marinas which will be interesting to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Pretty - but pretty useless on the Broads given the beam of 12'9" . Cannot use the Chet or Ant nor above the smaller bridges! I think I would like to go up the prettier rivers but I suppose the punters won't know or care much!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Looking at the internal photos of the first boat Arabella, thank the Lord that at last they are putting in windows that open. We were all for hiring Captain or its other similar boats to find that there were no windows that opened in the entire boat except the hatch at the front and the roof. Well we are talking Norfolk here and not Marbella for the weather and a hatch and roof will be closed 9/10ths of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I care, very nice boats but personally I would much prefer boats that can access the whole of the Broads system, the prettier parts even more so, good news though and good luck to them, even if they do need nice teak carpet, eh Jaws Grace 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The big one is a later version Crown Classique. Looks as though it was built for a private owner. Lovely boats, but they are 2.1 metres beam. Isn't there a limit on the Broads for hire boats? There always used be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thats why it cannot use the Chet or the Ant!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRascal Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Lovely boats and good to see as others have said, investment into fleets on the southern rivers. So far as the beam of the larger craft, just goes to show 3" can mean a great deal. That said, having read the relevant Bylaw it ends: "NB: There is provision for vessels of greater beam and length to make up to four passages each year provided seven days prior written notice has been given to the Broads Authority. (See Byelaws 6(e) and 8(c))." Since these are on 'private charter' (posh word for hire) I see no reason why someone who had hired chartered the boat and was in the know, could not contact the Broads Authority and give them a weeks notice of their intention to bring the boat up the Ant, for example. The restriction is imposed by the Broads Authority after all not the operator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 surely they wont fit under ludham bridge anyway, so its a bit of a moot point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 52 minutes ago, ranworthbreeze said: Hi Vaughan, Don't you mean 3.89 metres. Regards Alan I noticed that as soon as I had posted it! I put it down to : (a) loss of memory in retirement (b) senile decay (c) Chateau de Péyriac Minervois. And not necessarily in that order. I can remember now, that their beam is 4.2 metres, over the rubbing strakes. In all seriousness, these are the Rolls Royce of inland waterways hire boats. I have never seen better, but then I have never regarded them as "Broads" boats and I am sure Andy Wolstenholme didn't, when he designed them. If their size is indeed permitted, as hire boats, it is still very strictly limited. On the Thames however, they would be a "class" boat to hire. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB37 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The bigger one 'Moneypenny' is a new design by Haines in 2012 that has been up for sale since then. It has an air draught of 9ft 6in, and a beam of 12ft 9in. http://www.hainesmarine.co.uk/haines-elegance.php# The Broom Grand Explorer is bigger still, having an air draught of 9ft and a beam of 13ft 5in. http://www.broomboats.com/explorer/explorer-42/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 so with Ludham Bridge at 8'6" +/- about 9" Moneypenny is unlikely ever to get under , and BGE only occasionally at low tide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart, indeed very smart, just useless! Probably aimed at the short break market where folk don't go far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
